strong magnetic field i feel it in my head. think of it like a real hard pressure on my skin burns and that wireless access point there it's just continuous all day with our students in the schools. we are just continually bathing our citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electoral small and skilling worse. john boccieri. a feisty exchange in the british parliament reason may faces all run over her
9:01 am
contingency plans for a new deal breaks it. also coming up on the program after weeks of talking violent yellow vests demonstrations french police launched their own protest over working conditions on paid overtime and with some media blaming russia for the yellow vests on wrist looking for those suspected of infiltrating from each. i you in paris so you make people protest known that to look me. up when you put it. in the sentencing of donald trump's former national security advisor for lying to an f.b.i. investigation into alleged russian collusion is delayed once more we look at how his case is tainted by words like reason meddling.
9:02 am
from moscow to the world they say is your r.t. international good to have your company i'm you know neal a little unwelcome. with one hundred days left until the u.k. parts ways with the european union trees amaze government is ramping up and no deal breakers and preparations as the prime minister is divorced continues to face serious opposition with a final vote on the deal in mid january to may has been making her case in parliament this whedon's they bring heated exchange with opposition leader. until the deal has a date has been russia five it is the responsible position of government and it is it would be the responsible position of any government to put in place contingency arrangements for no deal no do you would redesign aster for our country and no responsible government would ever allow each i know it's christmas i know is not to
9:03 am
be stocking down the chimney on top of the christmas tree he still hasn't found. the prime minister who is supposed to be undertaking a negotiation with the prime minister the trial to bring an acceptable deal but the prime minister stopped the pretense and stop wasting four billion pounds in a cynical attempt to drive could be damaging to you all through this house. there is a right honorable gentleman doesn't want to see money being spent on no deal he's governed easy also but this january. let's go live now to westminster alice to see a church going to hi there british m.p.'s really struggling to keep their composure over brags that. well oh you know and indeed the stakes are getting higher and higher and the debate is getting harder and harder it is in fact one hundred days
9:04 am
to go before bracks it turns from being this vague concept that everybody in the u.k. seems to be arguing about into something very real and it's been now two years of a trial to go she asians and it's absolutely clear at this point that the situation is more uncertain than ever and certainly passions are flying high as we just saw out this wednesday wednesday's prime minister's questions at the house of commons the exchanges were extremely fiery and as part of those exchanges it appears that the op. party leader jeremy portman apparently had called the british prime minister a stupid woman let's take a look. at how dry so that i try to go. no i. thank. you while all of those comments
9:05 am
turned into m.p.'s demanding that jeremy corbyn be reprimanded while his spokesperson has said that he actually did not call to resubmit a stupid woman so there's no grounds for an apology the spokesperson said that the opposition party leader has in fact a reference to stupid people so we can certainly leave this lip reading to the experts in terms of who said what the key is that once again attention has shifted from the substance of bracks it to now this scandal and a legend name calling making up the headlines moving forward for at least for today and while it's clear that the problem has gone nowhere and specifically the european commission this wednesday has officially started preparing for a new deal bracks it's contingency action plan so things are getting quite real the
9:06 am
debate as hard for where all of this is going to lead remains a massive question yet certainly does alison see a church to westminster this hour thank you. well let's bring in our live on the program independent british m.e.p. jealous of consent jealous good to have your company. how do we where do we go in a plan brags that john this means concessions we know this but a new deal breaks in the us we're increasingly hearing appears to mean chaos what are you choosing. what is the language that is why is it chaos if we exit. without it you know we just go to well trade organization rules that's not a problem but you know the mainstream media talk about the horror of crashing out of the e.u. is not is an option that's on the table and under government legislation if we don't have a deal in the next few weeks that we just leave under world trade organization rules and there is no problem with that the problem is in westminster is that we
9:07 am
have too many emmy pays and to me pay standing behind cameras going on radio just just all here in months i'm so not listening to what the voters want recover remain prime minister we're going to remain opposition and we've got remain m.p.'s in the house of westminster they were given a clear mandate by the people and we knew exactly what we were voting for and that is leaving without a deal if that comes down to it but i mean brussels now broadcasting to you they they really don't get an understand the brussels brinkmanship that takes place here of course it goes to the wire and we should hold their feet to the water as well oh we've got one hundred days to work this out because this lot will cave in because they need us more than we need but you've also got a tougher you talking at the moment you getting its own contingency plans together for a new deal breaker understandably putting its interest first here's indeed what the vice president of the european commission had to say let's listen together.
9:08 am
fourteen measures you know limited number of. major destructions for all citizens our businesses. must measure that all would not be sufficient so those issues. exercised in a limiting. europe are not convinced by new deal preparations how will britain actually cope with it with a new deal breakers are considering you've got a powerful twenty seven nation bloc on its doorstep protecting itself. oh you've got to really be asked so one of the things that they're arguing about is for why so we can fly through the e.u. but can't actually land now how is that going to affect greek tourism economies already on the on the knees you've got seventy five percent youth unemployment fifty percent youth unemployment if the british tourists don't go and spend at
9:09 am
pounds and euros in greece then they're going to have an even bigger national debt and disaster if we don't go to italy if we don't send our business people into germany well it really considering that i think one of the upsides of this is that the government is actually planned for another three thousand border force control people so they also issued their white paper and control the migration so there's positive angles to come out of this we're also seeing the lorries for an unimpeded travel across the european area. so really that backing down can i just take your thoughts on britain's poor sprigs immigration plans because the home secretary is removing specific targets for immigration which briggs's supporters want to pursue firstly perhaps the most important reason for for voting so for many as well as minimum wage requirements we know about as well is this an
9:10 am
admission that clumping daryn and immigration is going to affect every business sector including the health service. well i don't think there's actually a problem if the cut government carries through their plans because i've always said you know we want the brightest and best from around the world i'm quoted in the hindustan times and also the china people's daily on this i don't care where they come from but what i don't want to be is a person in the state i don't want them to be in our schools and in our hospitals so therefore that thirty thousand pounds threshold for earnings is a very good thing and we want skilled people to come here we don't know not look through us from europe they're coming from some of the some of the eastern you're. states causing problems in fitting up. with criminals what we want is decent people are trained for our economy and if we have to have to have some low skilled people because we've almost got full unemployment then that's fine but it's about after deciding who comes here not the whole of the five hundred million people that live
9:11 am
in the european union if they want they can come in china and as free as they want is making equal so everybody so the brightest and best from china we need nuclear engineers we mathematicians we need we need engineers those are the people we want coming out of the eastern european bloc working in coffee shops how do you for see this going in mid january that's when the futex place for treason made a deal if that gets forward which looks increasingly like by the end of march a new deal situation will be in play do you think that is going to happen that's what we're going to see or is there something else in the works that might effect that. now i fear that they're working towards revoking article fifty or at least putting it on hold and extending it i think that's where they're going with this so that they're actually playing up a no deal scenario electors going out to households and businesses is project fear
9:12 am
with new nuclear warheads on at the moment so they're ramping up the fear of this agent by brussels so i fear that this is where we're going to send article fifty it will be up to the european elections if we revoke article fifty then all hell will break loose and i'm afraid you've seen the riots on the streets in paris and belgium and holland with the yellow face you have seen nothing yet if you start messing around in revoking article fifty or even extending article fifty and i fear that's where we're going at the moment we voted to come out of the european union and if we leave without a deal on the twenty ninth of march. then so be it that's what we do we do not revoke all even extend article fifty independent british m.e.p. janice out of concern live on the program thank you. well something that janice was speaking about there weeks of protests still simmering in france the struggle police officers have now started their own protest against unpaid overtime and
9:13 am
dangerous working conditions and at least one terminal in the french capital's main or aborts officers are causing long lines on passport control by staging a slow down protest reporting from paris here charlotte to consider. well it seems is out with the yellow vests and the blue vests police are now trying to squeeze concessions out of the government they're unhappy with what they see is deteriorating conditions the amount of overtime they've done some twenty three million hours and that includes because some of the work that we've been doing over the last five weeks with the best test is and of course the increased security that we're seeing around christmas markets and some sites across france in the wake of that strasburg attack and they say it's simply not enough the unions describing the situation for police in france as being. diabolical. they're not
9:14 am
categories was too cautious or even considering the social and professional obligations of our colleagues when they are not in uniform they become yellow vests because we are middle class or even lower because of our salaries our origin that's why some colleagues feel that they are yellow vests because of the yelling fasts really resonates with police well those mean cry from some of the police unions who've been in discussions with the interior ministers since tuesday those discussions are ongoing but already the government is offering some concessions being put on the table trying quell the sunnies the last thing they want is for the police to continue strike which has been described as many as act one giving the suggestion that they prepared to go a little bit further as a yellow vest and be going over the last few weeks the concession on the table so for is a three hundred euro bonus to be paid to the officers who've been involved in the deployment of the yellow vest protests but the unions say it's just not enough and
9:15 am
actually what they want is for those twenty three million hours of overtime being paid a huge bill according to the interior minister. the state currently owes almost two hundred seventy five million. neuros to its police officers for over time not in recent months or years but for decades we cannot have dead that level they're also unhappy the unions about what they see is being moved to nuffin the port for the police budget which is due to be discussed as part of the two thousand and nineteen budget in the national assembly on that day they say it's not enough money to pay for the overtime and it's not enough money to improve the conditions nor is it enough to recruit the extra staff that they need to deal with the continuing protests those talks ongoing between the unions and the interior minister but it seems that already this slowdown of the police this new blue vest protest here in france is already having some impact when if we return to the original widespread
9:16 am
yellow vests demonstrations people calling for fuel tax levies to be dropped on for political reform but some have been looking away from the government for the source of the discord rushed to link the movement to moscow and charlotte earlier went to all my hunt for suspects and partners. let us keep. the skippy i don't think i've definitely found one. yes. by you in paris to make people protest known the two look need. look. no need to say when your chest i see in your chest. the russians of a behind the yellow vest protests what is it that you lose just like you would punch out good to be thieves in a loop remove good. the party has the news in your mouth.
9:17 am
the mainstream media say that russia is behind these protests you must be wearing a yellow vest on saturday a media issues a. boy was i was. well this place suspiciously could be a center of russian activity in france. france or do you mean you know it is so de scooting to protesting just spoon fronts into chaos. here you know the story of what's your favorite color. are you sure it's not yellow. as a problem. due. to the color. we
9:18 am
9:19 am
nor middle of the room. what is the. that's going to pop the global bubble back in two thousand and eight it was a two thousand a subprime crisis. today i think we can safely say that the bubble will be popped but the collapse of. nineteen minutes past five pm here in moscow welcome back to the program sentencing of the first white house official over alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential campaign has been delayed once again donald trump's former national
9:20 am
security advisor michael flynn pleaded guilty to a single count of lying to the f.b.i. but as explains buzzwords like treason meddling discuss what flynn is really guilty of. general michael flynn the only senior member of the trumpet ministration to be charged with a crime by the special prosecutor it was supposed to be a smoking gun the judge didn't mince any words when describing it i'm not hiding my disgust my disdain for this criminal offense alone you were and registered agent of a foreign country serving as a national security adviser arguably that undermines everything that this flag over here stands for arguably you sold your country out however the judge took it back i feel terrible about that the government has no reason to believe that the defendant committed treason is an actual crime with telling a lie to the feds but that's not what the media has been feeding us. it's
9:21 am
it's funny because the street is a witness tampering now it is possibly treason but mike flynn is what people thought about when they're thinking when he's talking to people who might have gone long a treasonist that's how many trips did michael flynn take his place anthony bourdain of treason no treason no sinister connection to foreign adversaries what happened is this in december of two thousand and sixteen as the f.b.i. was preparing to wrap up and conclude its collusion investigation at that point michael flynn had a conversation with russian ambassador. now you'll recall that is far as the media was concerned he wasn't simply an ambassador but a super spy master remember. identified by c.n.n. as a top intelligence gatherer to our spies master in washington d.c. and who we know is the chief spy novel actually lead so course the f.b.i. had no choice but to talk to flynn about that conversation but the way their interview with him was conducted was rather strange no lawyers were present the white house counsel was not informed lynn just sat down with the f.b.i.
9:22 am
and at no point did they tell him that what he said could later be used against him in court yet the eyes investigation of a guy who pled guilty to lying to the f.b.i. he should have been warned you shouldn't should have told you. have a lawyer think of the state of affairs we've ended up in that's nonsense i'm very proud of the way the f.b.i. conducted itself in actual flexible thoughtful pursuit believes where you'd want to stay the f.b.i. broke standard protocol in the way that they came in and ambush the only reason that they did it was the trumpet ministration and they thought they could get away with it at the time the f.b.i. did not see any wrongdoing general flynn pleaded guilty to making a false statement to the federal bureau of investigation even though the federal bureau of investigation agents did not detect any deception during flynn's ince of you what michael flynn apparently said is that international tensions shouldn't ask following obama's sanction and sacking of the diplomats however michael flynn told
9:23 am
the f.b.i. that he couldn't recall the details of the conversation there were tire general admitted lying to the f.b.i. michael flynn lied to the f.b.i. general michael landon oh the horror he sat at a table with russian president vladimir putin and he's supposedly met with a group alleged to be nazi sympathizers and he supposedly kidnapped someone on behalf of turkish president and while we're at it let's mention that his son is apparently part of the investigation lands name has been dragged through the mud at the end of the day however the f.b.i. only found one thing to hold onto a lie. r.t. new york. a bunch of hot documents reportedly from a u.k. funded think tank how far partly were fairly empty propaganda sites links to nato among the revelations are supposedly efforts to infiltrate european media and edit wikipedia pages in the russian manner. takes us through the story it's got
9:24 am
a cozy sounding moralistic name the integrity initiative it's part of the u.k. based institute for state craft charity it's papiss to counter all that kremlin dissent from flooding the globe. leaked documents have shown the noble crusade receiving funds from the british government's foreign office and the latest leak has revealed some of those who were paid by the info wars unit. two thousand five hundred pounds a month not bad his day job is at the atlantic council and nato backed think tank ties to nato seem to be a good indorsement if you want to get paid by the integrity initiative apparently ties to our channel can also get you the gig remember liz wahl a presenter of variety over in the us who resigned after this newscast i'm resigning she received a three figure sum from the group for an article titled inside where she compares
9:25 am
the channel to isis we've contacted both the integrity initiative and the institute for statecraft over the payments so far there's been no comment while the u.k. foreign office which has spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on the program had this to say the state craft an independent charity was hired several weeks ago and numerous documents were published a number of news channels the russian state media campaigns objectively is clear this is just another example of russian just information intended to confuse audiences and discredit an organization which is working independently to talk of the threat of descent from asia the integrity initiative has been caught three tweeting stories that explore conspiracy theories about the u.k. opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn despite receiving funding from the foreign office some including wiki leaks have question the veracity of some of the leaked documents the statements from the british government that have been sent to r.t.
9:26 am
in response to repeated questions about integrity initiative appear to have struck a nerve although that's by no means proof that the documents are real for the most part the mainstream media here in the u.k. has chosen to ignore. for the british government funding and russian networks story except for one aspect of it one u.k. foreign office minister has now demanded a thorough investigation of the charity's criticism of the labor party on calling for a public inquiry into the integrity of this and similar information war that's being funded by our government as for the rest of the integrity initiatives and the russia work there is the afa lady said to the group say they're merely defending democratic institutions and fighting the good fight well we discuss the story with award winning journalist and filmmaker john pilger on artie's going on gras and we've got a clip of it but the full version will be shown this summer i've never known the
9:27 am
such a group test scripts. as the the the the elevation. of russia and china and the perceived enemy to. the kind of cold war status they had when i was a child having grown up on the cold war i find it quite difficult to believe that journalists some of them to sting wished in their own way but all of the wheeling journalists distinguished in their own right. should go alone should allow themselves to be in. by the british government at a time when there is. a litany of law about. russia about china about so many issues. and not addition all the program will be shown here on saturday but we are sticking
